LITHUANIA IS UNDERRATED (trying traditional Lithuanian food in Vilnius, Lithuania)

Of course, Lithuania is underrated. Most Westerners don't know anything about non-Western countries and tend to regard (dismiss) the rest of Europe as "East block countries". Actually, Lithuania is a great country, with a rich and prestigious history and its language is among the oldest in the Indo-European family.

I took my 5 year old son to Vilnius a few weeks ago. We had a lovely time and I would highly recommend it!

I am so happy you enjoyed yourselves in Vilnius=3 It is always nice to see my city through the eyes of foreigners! Have a wonderful day=3

My parents and I found you randomly while watching things on Ukraine and Lithuania, we are Australian but my Grandparents (my parents' parents on both sides) were born in Lithuania so we just love anything Lithuanian! It made me laugh when you said ačiū sounds like a sneeze... totally!! 😄 Fried bread was never a "thing" back when my Grandparents lived there so it's not a recipe they brought over with them unfortunately, I would LOVE to try it someday. But I've had Cepelinai MANY MANY times 😋

Lithuanian food is quite tasty, I recommend it 👍

So good to hear nice words about my country 😊❤️

I was there too from 12-15 dec, and loved it too. Amazing, even in the cold winter!

you guys went to lithuania at the most depressing time. In the summer season, it's 100x more vibrant. In the winter time it turns into a ghost town. I am from lithuania so I'd know. No one wants to be in lithuania in the winter, lithuanians included haha. Seems like you still managed to enjoy yourselves, props to you. But next time, be sure to come back in the summer time. It will be a totally different experience with all the street cafes opened and the street music. The whole place comes alive in the summer.

I’m half Lithuanian. So grew up eating this food, but I think it was poor farmers food. My grandparents were poor farmers who legally migrated to the US. The bread was amazing, sauerkraut with Lithuanian sausage or sardines, baked shredded potatoes with bacon and bacon fat, rolls stuffed with ground meat. Super hearty food, and other baked and fried sweets. I wish they were alive today to see these videos and reconnect with their many extended family members. My grandmother tried writing letters but we felt they were probably intercepted by the then regime behind the iron curtain. She spoke of Vilnius.

Thank you for sharing :virtualhug: --- For Winter time in Lithuania --- A wonderful country 💛💚❤ with kind and helpful people.👍 I visited in this lsummer, 13-15 JUNE 2023 with 3 thai friends from Bangkok. We are all appreciated and like Lithuania, Vilnius is cosy and Trakai is a nice small town along the lake that we walked along to TRAKAI CASTLE.. We have taken good food 👍👌 in Vilnius and my thai freinds love taste of BEER in Lithuania a lot. Best Wihses from STOCKHOLM - SWEDEN 😊🌼🌺🥀🏵🏵🏵🌲🌲🌲

Thanks for presenting Lithuania in such a nice way.

In Lithuania we are saying "apči" ("upchee") to describe a sneezing, not "ačiū" ("atshew"), as in Thank You, so here is not one same word for different meanings.

The breadsticks are called Kepta Duona (translates to fried bread) potato dumpling are called Cepelinai. As myliu Lietuviska maista.

You could have climbed up the Gediminas's hill from the other entrance (the opposite side) I'm quite disapointed that the main entrance didn't have a sign to notify you of that

I guess as Australians summer weathers are not that interesting to you but i still think it looks way better in summer. Our cities have ton of greenerie it gives entirely different vibes from Grey and bleak winter aesthetic (at least to me its like that)

Bread sticks became a thing with first factory produced dark bread. It is today that bread can be kept for weeks. Those days it would go stale in a couple of days, so this became a way to freshen it up. Plus garlic and salt adds to the taste too 😉

Thanks for nice, funny, warm movies about Vilnius and thanks :) you LOVE it

I'm Lithuanian, and end I love that you guys liked my countary, a lot of peoples don't know who is the Lithuania. AČIŪ LABAI❤️

Lithuania is very good with amazing food 🇱🇹

Great channel, Jordan and Emily!
